Yarri Honey, also known as Blackbutt, is less well known than Jarrah but has similar powerful antimicrobial properties. We, however, have always known that it is pretty special. Harvested from the flowers of the Eucalyptus Blackbutt trees, our Yarri honey is highly antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. With a flavour profile tasting of rich dried fruit and treacle, this honey is as delicious as it is bioactive.

LAB TEST RESULTS:
Total Activity Score
Strong Confidence Rating: TA 30+
Actual Result: >TA35
Total Activity is a measure of the bioactive properties of the honey and indicates the antibacterial strength. This test is currently accurate on a scale of 0-35+ with the highest possible rating. Yarri honey receives one of the highest possible rating that the test measures at 30+.
Many people are familiar with Manuka Honey and its associated bioactivity markers. What is not common knowledge is that our Australian native honeys are very comparable to the most bioactive Manukas. Research has found that Jarrah Honeys (TA 35+), have up to 90% greater activity than average levels found in Manuka honeys. See the table below which provides a comparison between MGO found in Manuka honey to Total Activity found in honeys from Western Australia.
Antibacterial Activity Value is a measure of the bioactive potency of honeys that has been developed by the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Honey Bee Products at the University of WA (UWA) that takes in multiple markers and measures the honey's effectiveness to fight strains of pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria.
AAV measures of between 600-700 are some of the highest bioactive products available.
Above is a comparison table to show how AAV compares with other measures.
SUSTAINABLY HARVESTED
Your honey was harvested from Jarrahdale in Western Australia in January 2022.
REGION SPOTLIGHT
Sitting on the Darling Scarp, surrounded by forest, Jarrahdale was Western Australia's very first timber town. Today, its scenic woodlands, parks, rivers, orchards and vineyards offer a tranquil escape from modern city life, while its National Trust-listed heritage gives you glimpses of a bygone country life.
This very different world lies less than an hour's drive southeast of Perth city, along the South Western Highway. You can also enter its forested hinterland, the Darling Ranges, along the Bibbulmun Track - one of the world's best long-distance walking trails winding over 1000 kilometres through a vast corridor of green from Kalamunda in Perth, to Albany on the south west coast.
